So, I'm not a murderer after all. My little situation when I fell asleep one night while waiting on the goose eggs to cool and left the goose eggs out of the incubator for 7 hours didn't go bad after all. 3 of the 6 eggs have hatched and I saw 1 more zipping. If only 3 hatch, then I am happy and couldn't have asked for any more. I think I'm done hatching goose eggs. It's too time consuming and too much work.

Pea eggs are next and will practice with something easy (chicken eggs).



So glad things turned out well.

So, I just wanted to share this with everyone. Our new exhibition club, the Gulf Coast Poultry Fanciers Association FINALLY have our logo finished. After weeks of design, debate, voting, and editing.....here it is.......



Love the logo! Thanks for your work designing and putting it together.

Here are my final results from my last goose hatch of the year. Stick a fork in me cause I'm done.

I thought I had 6 fertile eggs, but I only had 5. 4 of them hatched, 1 was not fertile and the other was fully developed but was dead inside the shell AND it's bottom area (intestines?) were out of the shell. It was weird. So, the hatch wasn't too bad. 4 out of 5 hatched.



Now on to pea eggs. I have 4 eggs as of last night. If I get 4 more in the next few days, then I will commence to incubating pea eggs.

Adorable babies. Can't wait to follow your journey with the pea eggs!

Soooooooo who knew about the free chick give away at Old Tyme feed store in Gonzales and didn't say anything?????
Look at all those bitties! Congrats!

No one is on-line!!! I want to scream with joy that I have 2 new fuzzy butts. You guys have made me green with envy and so hungry for some babies. You really are enablers. Samantha, thank you so much for the sweet babies. Your family is so beautiful and it was especially nice to meet you. It's so peaceful out there where you are.

I have to show you my new babies. Their names are Elizabeth and Amanda. We really hope they are girls, otherwise they will be Burt and Andy. We took some great fotos and video with my camera, but I don't know how to upload from that camera, but this will give you an idea, taken with my phone:

Very cute.

Today was devoted to the chicken coop. It was fun too.

Wow! I miss a day and you guys go crazy with fuzzy butt pictures!

Nice baby pic everyone! Love the polish hair do. He needs a bottle of that morning hair tamer. LOL

The coop is coming along great Johnny, keep it up!

I think I have pneumonia. Could be bronchitis. Who knows. Chest is rattling and hard to breathe. I'm coughing. My head isn't stuffy and my nose isn't running. It is all in my lungs. I CANNOT afford to take any more days off of work so I have to tough it out until school is over for me -- which means I can actually go to the doctor on June 3rd-- or until I fall out. Whichever comes first. Unless, of course, I run fever. Then work will send me home forcefully. I started with my son's inhaler this morning, been taking my cough meds from last time, my usual allergy medication, and drinking lots of warm green tea with honey. I feel better today than yesterday. This mess better clear up. It doesn't seem like the same thing my son had. He had awful congestion with his cold but his lungs were clear.

I rearranged some birds yesterday and cleaned out coops for the week. Happy birds today.

Stick that thermometer under some warm water if necessary. Take care of yourself!! No working until you "fall out." Doctor's orders.
